Pet care experience
Dogs are very emotional animals. Their mental well-being is just as important as exercise and good nutrition. I do my best to establish a bond with each client (dog). Putting an emphasis on emotional health makes watching dogs a very rewarding experience. Every dog is unique and has a different personality. What works to gain a dog’s trust changes from dog to dog. Rover much more than just a side hustle. Rover gives me the opportunity to provide a home away from home for fur babies while their owners are traveling. Guests that stay with us benefit from a quiet and safe environment, lots of love and attention. Lily Belle, my 7 year old Maltese-Poodle mix, helps welcome guests into our home. She makes friends quickly and will help your dog adjust to its home away from home. I'm a disabled grandpa that used to be an avid skier. I am home most of the time due to spinal injury from a ski accident. I've found that being around dogs is therapeutic and that caring for them is a joy, and not a chore. As a rover client, I know how important photo and video updates are and I'll send them to you throughout your pet’s stay. I have a fenced yard with plenty of grass to play on. When we are not playing outside, we can be found relaxing on the couch in the living room. No large dogs to torment smaller dogs.
Reviews
Great sitter!
I recently used Overnight Stay service provided by Eric for my dog, and I couldn't be more pleased. Eric was an excellent communicator throughout the entire process, keeping me updated with frequent messages and lots of pictures. It was clear that he genuinely cared for my dog's well-being, and I felt reassured knowing my furry friend was in good hands. I highly recommend Eric's services to any pet owner looking for top-notch care for their beloved companion.
Eric, Kim, and their dog Lily are always a fun crowd for my dog. He loves going there. In addition to the many photos and videos, I appreciate the extras such as bringing my dog out to the car in really bad weather. It was very nice to stay in the dry warm car- such service!
Eric has been one of the best Rover’s we have ever had! His communication is perfect, with lots of puppy updates. He’s very knowledgeable about dogs, and you can tell he really has passion for them. Our boys had a great time with him and Lily, and received the best care and attention. I can’t recommend Eric, Lily, and Kim enough! Thank you!

I have a large backyard with a privacy fence that is a perfect spot for smaller dogs to safety exercise. My guests have access to the living room, dining room and the kitchen. They also have the opportunity to sleep with the host if they so desire.
Home
Information Eric & Kim S. would like to know about your pet
Let me know what your dog’s routine is like. Also, what does your dog do for fun. Is it long walks, or chasing a ball or just keeping an eye on the front yard from the sofa? Also, does your pup have any special dietary requirements? Lastly, is it ok to give your dog a bath if needed? We’ve had a couple of funky dogs in the past and a nice bath really helps with that.
A typical day
We will take walks along Ralston Creek in the morning and evenings, and play fetch or just lounge around our fenced back yard. Relaxing before bedtime with belly rubs while watching television are also part of the routine. Not a kennel!

Availability
I don’t work outside the house. I am a homemaker and an amateur musician. I rarely leave the house for more than a couple of hours. My house is my sanctuary. Safety, tranquility and a loving 2nd home are what I offer my clients. The weight limit is 40lbs, but I am not able to control dogs over 30 who have really strong working or prey drives. Wanting to chase a squirrel is fine, lunging at others is not. No aggressive or reactive dogs please.
